We at Google have proposed the formation of a new "Speech API Community
Group" to pursue a JavaScript Speech API. We encourage you to join and
support this effort. [1]
We believe that forming a Community Group has the following advantages:
- ItÃ­s quick, efficient and minimizes unnecessary process overhead.
- We believe it will allow us, as a group, to reach consensus in
an efficient manner.
- We hope it will expedite interoperable implementations in
multiple browsers. (A good example is the Web Media Text Tracks CG, where
multiple implementations are happening quickly.)
Google plans to supply an implementation and a test suite for
this specification, and will commit to serve as editor. We hope that
others will support this CG as they had stated support for the similar
WebApps CfC. [2]
